No Reserve All welcome to inspect the car before bidding. However, I understand that it might not be possible due to long distances, therefore I will give the winning bidder the right to not complete the transaction if not satisfied when he comes to pickup the car. History of the car: The original owner of the car was incarcerated back in the seventieth, and vehicle was stored in a warehouse with the rest of his cars and possessions until he died in prison in 2002. His daughter inherited it and sold it to an older gentleman who believed the car should stay in its original condition, registered it as an antique vintage vehicle and drove it only a few hundred miles a year making this car a true survivor. The car has always been garage kept, started and driven occasionally. Never abused or raced. Always been Alabama and Georgia Vehicle, never been north. Originality and numbers matching are the most important factors to appreciate classic Corvettes. Here is the VIN number and engine block sequence number decoded for the car collectors who appreciate originality.

The L48 took 6.8 seconds to reach 60 mph (97 km/h), the L82, 6.7 seconds and the LS4 454, 6.4 seconds. On the Bridgehampton road course and over the ride and handling course at Suffolk County Raceway, the base L48 coupe was again our choice...the L-82 had the same balance as the L48 but if we weren't at the right rpm through a corner, or in the wrong gear, the (L82's) lack of torque made itself felt once again...the L48 was the best balanced of the three." History of repairs: The engine was dressed up with Edelbrock air filter, Edelbrock valve covers, Chrome Alternator. Gas tank was replaced in 2002 when it came out of storage. Full brake system was replaced in 2013. 1974 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray T-TOP Matching numbers Original low mileage (less than 26K miles) Original engine Original Manual Transmission (4 Speed) Original Interior Original wheels, hub caps, and wheel trim.
